o

A. Kinetic

B. Rotational

C. Potential

D. Radiant

6) Your little brother is jumping on the bed. The mattress has springs inside. When he lands on the bed, he compresses the springs into tight
coils. Then, the spring does what springs do -- it stretches back out and sends your little brother flying into the air. While the spring is in the
process of stretching, what type of energy does it have?
o

A. Magnetic

B. Potential

C. Radiant

D. Kinetic
